Welcome to Janice L. Kaplan CommunicationsJanice L. Kaplan Communications is a full service PR firm based in Washington, D.C., serving local, national and international clients. Success on behalf of clients can be measured in increased visibility, funding, attendance and sales.
For 40 years, Janice L. Kaplan has worked as a writer and communications professional, defining messages, managing major campaigns and placing clients in editorials and on the front page of The Washington Post, in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, on NPR, CBS Sunday Morning and WAMU’s Kojo Nnamdi Show, among many other places. Journalists are Saying...Malcolm Gladwell, who used to sit next to me at The Washington Post, has this concept about connectors. They
are the glue of the networks we have. If ever there was a connector, it is Janice. She now knows more people at The Washington Post than I know. Ruth Marcus, columnist, The Washington Post Janice Kaplan is a one-woman idea factory. Rita Braver, correspondent, CBS Sunday Morning We don't often get unsolicited pitches that might actually work but I was impressed with Janice's story. Liz Levin, senior producer, The Colbert Report Janice has an organic way of integrating her knowledge, experience and network into what I need as a journalist, as opposed to thinking about what she needs as a publicist. Jill Rosenbaum Meyer, producer, CBS Clients are Saying...Janice stepped in at a critical time: when we were ready to launch our first ever capital campaign. Her communications and strategic insights as well as the finished projects - including a fundraising case statement and our annual report - were key to our success. She is a real pro who is well-known throughout the city for her broad creative skills.
Patty Stonesifer, President and CEO, Martha's Table We hired Janice to raise the visibility of the U.S. National Arboretum, and she succeeded beyond measure. She's one of the best media experts I've ever worked with with an unnerving eye for picking out the right story idea and knowing the best way to pitch it, and to whom. A Washington Post opinion piece conceived and written by Janice led to a $1 million donation. My board thinks she's a miracle worker! Dana M. Faulkner, CEO, Friends of the National Arboretum I have worked with many PR people who promise the world. Janice actually delivers. Kate Goodall, CEO and co-founder, Halcyon Janice has endless energy and creativity and incredible media contacts. She walked me through the entire process of rewriting our report, creating press releases, preparing talking points, and coaching me for radio appearances. In addition to being incredibly smart and strategic, she's the nicest human being on the planet and makes it all fun. Channing Wickham, Executive Director, Washington AIDS Partnership I can’t remember what life was like before we became part of the Janice L. Kaplan network. Writer, publicist, storyteller, film producer, Janice is generous with her contacts, passionate about the cause and imaginative in the way she brings people together.. She is creative, fearless and absolutely dedicated to her clients. Terri Lee Freeman, former President, The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region One of the joys of working to end homelessness in DC and around the county has been the privilege of working with Janice. She makes me think more clearly about what I am doing, sharpens my message and has the skills and contacts to take that message to the world. Linda Kaufman, DowntownDC Business Improvement District |
